Election Day 2008
by Ranil on Nov.04, 2008, under Life in Los Angeles, Points Of Importance
The big day is here – Election 2008. Being an Australian citizen I can’t vote, but I strongly urge most of you to. I hope that you’ll vote for McCain. Not because I believe in his views, or think that Sarah Palin is hot, no I want you to vote for him because I don’t want to lose a bet and buy someone dinner. Democrat or Republican remember the real issue here – letting me eat dinner at a fancy restaurant for free!
Third time’s a charm

The flowers came today. Sitting at my desk they serve as a reminder of how long I’ve been in the circling in the same place. Three years ago I left a “promising” job at Iced Out Gear and began working in Downtown LA. I ditched the cargo pants for slacks and a tie. I switched to v-neck sweaters and topcoats. Did I change? Perhaps. Am I still the same – more so than I realize.
Phone calls from a Black Hole

So as we wait for the newly formed blackholes created by the Large Hadron Collier to swallow the world as we know it I thought it would be prudent to get back into the business of blogging. I haven’t been able to keep up with doing big Something New’s every week, but I try to do little things in order to fulfill the requirement. Sometimes it’s as simple as eating dinner alone at Masa while reading the paper. Other times it’s just doing something I never thought I would do, like drive to Orange County on a whim but I still find time to get back to my home base and recoup. I think that is an important part of being yourself.
Sally’s 27th Birthday

Sally finally joined the ranks of us 27 year old today. I wish her a very Happy Birthday! To celebrate her hitting yet another year (btw I forgot that it’s 27 this year and not 28 so a whole bunch of pictures are labeled 28 – apologies) the gang headed out to Blue Monkey in Hollywood to celebrate. We may be old, but we sure can drink like teenagers.
Something New: Week 7 – Cessation
by Ranil on Sep.04, 2008, under Points Of Importance, Smoking, Something New
Lately I’ve been doing things in an attempt to make myself into the person I need to become. A chance to be a better person. It was a difficult road getting here and somethings were harder to do than others – some in the end were easier than I thought. My Something New was about finding things that would better me and find things that I could be interested in. It was meant to broaden my horizons. So, I think the next step in all of this is to do something I never thought I could.
